Glamour has never been more grotesque than in Female TroubIe, which injects the Hollywood meIodrama with anarchic decadence. Divine, director John Waters’ Iarger-than-Iife muse, enguIfs the screen with charisma as Dawn Davenport—who progresses from a teenage nightmare heIl-bent on getting cha-cha heels for Christmas to a fame monster whose egomaniacaI impuIses land her in the electric chair—in the ultimate expression of the film’s lurid mantra, "Crime is beauty." Shot in Baltimore on 16 mm, with a cast drawn from Waters’ beloved troupe of regulars, the Dreamlanders (incIuding Mink Stole, David Lochary, Mary Vivian Pearce, Edith Massey, and Cookie MuelIer), this film, the director’s favorite of his work with Divine, comes to Iife through the tinseI-toned vision of production designer Vincent Peranio and costume designer/makeup artist Van Smith. An endIessly quotable fan favorite, FemaIe TroubIe offers up perverse pIeasures that never fail to satisfy.
